Take a peek at your email inbox. See an email from either Facebook or PayPal saying something about your login being changed or an error in your billing information found during routine maintenance? Is there a form you’re supposed to open?
DUMP THE THING.
These are both scams, making the rounds like wildfire. When in doubt, don’t click—instead, go straight to the website in question, manually type in their web address (just like you normally do), then sit tight. If there’s really a legitimate problem, you’ll get an error message. If there’s not, well…you just dodged a bullet.

Hi Cinda,
Thanks for the information. I’ve gotten a couple of these from time to time, supposedly from some big companies I do business with. Fortunately I remembered reading an article in general about internet scams and I called them and they said it was a scam.
You are doing a great service exposing people to this information. The Good Guys need all the help they can get. LOVE the 3/50 project. Thanks for starting it.
